AI Summary

This proposal would let Paducah use a 3.62‑acre city property more freely by clearing old limits from its deed. It tells the Secretary of the Interior to remove all restrictions on the land at 2956 Park Avenue, part of the Paducah Memorial Army Reserve Center, including the limits listed in a 2012 deed from the United States to the city (recorded in McCracken County). This could make it easier for the city to maintain, reuse, or redevelop the site, including any buildings on it.

Key points

Who is affected: The City of Paducah and nearby residents and businesses.
What changes: All deed restrictions—such as easements and other conditions—would be removed from the property so the city has more flexibility in how it uses the land and any improvements on it.
Where: 2956 Park Avenue, Paducah, McCracken County, Kentucky (about 3.62 acres at the Paducah Memorial Army Reserve Center).
When: After the Secretary of the Interior signs the needed paperwork; no specific date is given in the text.
